Trochoidea is a superfamily of small to very large vetigastropod sea snails with gills and an operculum.[2] Species within this superfamily have nacre as the inner shell layer. The families within this superfamily include the Trochidae, the top snails. This superfamily is the largest vetigastropodan superfamily, containing more than 2,000 species.[3]

2017 taxonomy
editWilliams et al. (2008)[4] have made further refinements to the taxonomy of Trochoidea. The revised taxonomy as defined by Bouchet et al. (2017) resulted in the following families.[5] The fossil families, tentatively included in this list, are based on Tracey et al. (1993) [6]

- Margaritidae Thiele, 1924
- †Metriomphalidae Gründel, Keupp & Lang, 2017
- † Microdomatidae Wenz, 1938
- †Nododelphinulidae Cox, 1960
- Phasianellidae Swainson, 1840
- † Proconulidae Cox, 1960

- † Velainellidae Vasseur, 1880
- Trochoidea (unassigned)
Unassigned to a family:
- Margarella Thiele, 1893 - Margarella rosea belongs to Cantharidinae,[7] but Margarella antarctica belongs to Calliostomatidae/Thysanodontinae as Carinastele antarctica.[7]
